Spanish IB SL

The objective of the SL Language B course is to provide learners with receptive, productive and interactive skills in Spanish, while creating a culturally rich experience. Throughout the course, learners will participate in culturally based activities and projects as a means to further awareness and appreciation. The course will work in cohesion with TOK and CAS in order to advance the international dimension of the learner. Through writing and speaking, the learner will demonstrate the ability to understand, communicate and engage in the target language.
The course is organized to assess based on the IB Language B assessment objectives. Learners will be able to communicate clearly, use language appropriately in a cultural context, organize ideas, understand, analyze, and manipulate language to a certain range. Formative assessments will be given at the end of every unit. For example, at the completion of the human rights unit (Under Topic: Global

Issues; Aspect: Racism, prejudice, discrimination) learners will be given a formative assessment similar to the WA. In 150 words, students will find a common thread from newspaper articles. Preparation of this nature will be done throughout the course in order to prepare for all internal and external assessments.
